Upon assuming positions as Lead Co-Chairs, A.J. Thomas and Margie Granado began studying the documents associated with the CDP Legislation Committee. The most recent set of Policies and Procedures that were fully implemented were the 2011 Policies and Procedures. There were subsequent amendments that had been proposed and adopted. However, none of the subsequent amendments had been actually ratified by the CDP Rules Committee. Thus, under guidance from members of the Rules Committee, the CDP Legislation Committee must operate under the old 2011 Policies and Procedures at this time. While there is a desire for the committee to fully adopt the updates and amendments to the Policies and Procedures, the Legislation Committee must operate under the 2011 set of rules until the amendments are properly ratified. Regarding HR 2590 After consultation with the Parliamentarian and members of the Rules Committee, the Legislation Committee Co-Chairs have concluded that under current procedures a 2/3rds majority vote was needed to take up this item for consideration. No such vote was taken. As a result, the subsequent votes on this item are now understood to have been out of order. A consensus could not be reached, and while the bill was discussed extensively, this item is not included in the Legislation Committee floor report packet and therefore cannot be pulled. This item will be added for consideration under Old Business on the agenda for the next meeting of the CADEM Legislation Committee. In Solidarity, Margie Granado & A.J.
